Title:

Lily Pond at Brockley End

Limited Edition Prints Available

33 x 25cm (100): £120

Original Painting Sold: £1,600

The pond at Brockley End sits at the front of
the house where my brother lives with his wife.
I have been admiring it now for several years. I
have taken plenty of photographs, and made
sketches in charcoal, pencil and pen and ink.
The pond is continually changing in appearance,
especially the water. It can look Mediterranean
blue one minute, and coal pit black the next.

I am a Fine Artist
based near Hartley Wintney in Hampshire but I
also spend a few months of the year in Marbella
in Spain where I paint on location.

I
studied ‘visual communications’ and completed a
foundation course in the late 1980’s - gaining a
distinction at the Cardiff Institute of Art &
Design. I then worked in London as an Art
Director for a number of leading agencies before
deciding to concentrate on oil painting and pen
and ink drawing. I have been classically trained
and my style has been described as similar to
that of the 'Impressionists'.

My paintings and
drawings are for sale and can be viewed on this
Surrey Artists site and in the Gallery of
my website. I am also available to undertake
commissioned work.

In 2012 I will be
offering art lessons - further details below.

So feel free to
contact me if you would like to make a purchase,
discuss a commission or join one of my art
classes.

Art Lessons

I am in
the process of setting up art classes in the
evenings for the Fleet area of Hampshire in the
UK, and also in Marbella in Spain. I will
naturally be teaching adult students how to paint
in oils, and will also be concentrating on
developing their drawing techniques.

The
objective of the courses will be to focus on
individual requirements. Everybody has their own
preferences regarding what they like to paint or
draw. I will endeavour to improve a student’s
skill level, so they become more confident and
proficient.

I also
will be organising groups to join me during some
weekends drawing and painting landscapes on
location.

If you
would like to know more about these lessons please
contact me on the numbers or email address above.
